Signature Sunday: Jan Aans MUD (a.k.a. Jan Aants MUT)

My 4th-great-grandfather, Jan Aans MUD (c. 1786 - 1846), also spelled his name Jan Aants MUT, as you can see above in his signature. This was written at the bottom of the birth record of his daughter, Aaltje, my 3rd-great-grandmother, on 12 September 1848. Aaljte was born two days earlier, on 10 September 1848, in Sloten, Gaasterlân-Sleat, Friesland, the Netherlands.
